Graduation

Birkbeck Graduation gives our students, their guests and our academics, the chance to celebrate their remarkable achievements.

We're delighted to confirm that our Class of 2024 undergraduate graduation ceremonies will be taking place from Monday 2 to Thursday 5 December 2024 at Senate House, with invitations being sent out approximately six to eight weeks in advance to all those eligible to attend. We recommend that you don't make travel or overnight stay arrangements until you've received your invitation.

If you're an undergraduate student and feel you can't attend your graduation for financial reasons, you may be eligible to apply for the Birkbeck Graduation Fund - find more details on our Graduation FAQs page.
